What I Meant To Say
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I want you, I need you
I long to be near you
For now and forever more
Hold me in your arms
So close and stay by my side
Every night and day
That is what I meant to say
Talk and I'll listen
Without you I'm missing
All that you bring to my life
I swear I'll be honest
And live by the promise I've made
Oh I'll take the blame
That is what I meant to say
Help me I'm falling so deep I can't breathe
There's no reason to live anymore
Without you here with me
In us you believed in
You searched for my feelings
You spoke without saying a word
And I gave you nothing
A kiss short of loving
Why, did I turn away?
That is what I meant to say
Baby, help me I'm falling so deep I can't breathe
There's no reason to live anymore
Without you here with me
I want you, I need you
I long to be near you
For now and forever more
So break all this silence
And tell me what I need to do
What I need to prove
Cause baby I, I love you
Cause baby I, I love you
And that is what I meant to say
What I meant to say
